Abstract: In an improved method for measuring the distance (B) between two mutually opposing surfaces (1, 2) by means of the reluctance method, there is used a position indicator (4) whose measuring device (9) is mounted on an associated core (6) arranged on one (1) of the two surfaces. The other (2) of the surfaces is provided either with a permanent magnet or an electromagnet (14). When the opposing surfaces rotate in relation to one another (R), the distance can be measured with the aid of a winding whose induced electromotive force constitutes a measurement of the distance to be measured. A value of the sought distance can also be obtained with the aid of a Hall-element (9), which in the detection of a static magnetic field produces an electric current value which constitutes a measurement of the distance to be measured. The magnetic field is balanced with the aid of a coil (N2) mounted on the core, thereby enabling the distance to be measured by measuring the adjusting current supplied to the balancing coil. When the magnetizing device (M) on the other surface has the form of an electromagnet, the current supply to the device and to a further balancing coil (N2') on the core is advantageously an alternating supply.

Abstract: It has been determined that HLA B27 is related to proteins of the Gram negative enteric bacteria. The hypervariable regions of the HLA B alleles were compared to the known sequenced proteins for short consecutive amino acid identities. It was found that, unique to the HLA B alleles,, HLA B27 shares an unexpected number of hexapeptides and pentapeptides with Gram negative bacteria proteins. The proteins from enteric organisms that share sequence with B27 tend to have sequences that satisfy protein sequence motifs which are thought to predict binding to B27. In addition, there is a sequence in B27, LRRYLENGK, which is predicted to bind as a peptide to B27. Binding of this peptide to B27 has been demonstrated. The disclosed peptides are useful for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes and can be used to design additional peptides from Gram negative enteric organisms can be identified to be important in the spondyloarthropathies. These peptides and their analogs can be used to screen for antibodies, and more importantly, T cells reactive with the peptides, which are indicative of the spondyloarthropathies.

Abstract: Digital video signals are adaptively compressed for communication to a receiver. Superblocks (230), each containing a plurality of blocks (232) of digital video data, are compressed using PCM, DPCM with a general motion vector for the entire superblock, and DPCM with a specific motion vector for each block contained within a superblock. The result of each compression mode is compared (58) after accounting for overhead data, to determine which results in the least amount of data for each block (232). These blocks are assembled into a superblock (230), and compared (80) together with necessary overhead and motion vector data to the same superblock processed using all PCM as well as the superblock processed using all DPCM. The comparison determines which compression mode produces the least amount of data for the superblock. The most compact superblock is selected for transmission. The transmitted superblocks are decoded by a decoder (Fig. 5) that recovers the necessary motion vectors and overhead information which identifies the type of compression used to provide the superblock. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Block or plug implants provide weight-bearing support for adjacent vertebrae in a vertebral column while allowing sufficient area between and beside the plugs for packing of autologous bone graft to allow bony healing and fusion. The plugs have a laterally directed slot to allow ingrowth of blood supply from the side and to allow locking the permanent device in place with living bone. The plugs have a patterned surface to grip the vertebrae. Plugs used for fusion in the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels are wedged-shaped to reproduce the normal shape of these discs, which are higher anteriorly than posteriorly. The height of the plugs is greater than the width. The implants are made of a biocompatible carbon fiber reinforced polymer or alternately made of traditional orthopaedic implant materials such as chrome cobalt, stainless steel or titanium. In the surgical procedure, undamaged annulus fibrous disc tissue connecting the adjacent vertebrae is preserved and a pair of side-by-side implant plugs are forced into side-by-side transverse channels in the adjoining vertebrae to stretch the remaining annulus and support body weight applied through the vertebrae. The plugs are bottomed in the channels on cortex bone and bone ingrowth and fusion is facilitated by packing a patient's own graft into the center of the plug and beside and between the two adjacent plugs.

Abstract: A high-speed out-of-band signalling technique for transferring information such as station status information between stations in a communication network, typically a local-area network, involves sequentially generating a plurality of n-bit sequence segments, where n is at least 3. Each bit is either a first binary value or a second binary value. Each sequence segment is coded with one of a plurality of different n-bit code groups divided into a first code group and a set of second code groups. The n bits in the first code group are all the first binary value-e.g., all "1s". None of the second code groups contain a pair of non-contiguous bits of the second binary value-e.g., none of the second code groups contains two "0s" separated by at least one other bit. The sequence segments are outputted in the order that they were generated to produce a special bit sequence which carries the desired information. The station status information typically includes configuration capability, flow control parameters, and integrity control parameters.

Abstract: A modular actuator assembly includes one or more plates or elements of electro-active material bonded to an electroded sheet, preferably by a structural polymer to form a card. The card is sealed, and may itself constitute a practical device, such as a vane, shaker, stirrer, lever, pusher or sonicator for direct contact with a solid or immersion in a fluid, or may be bonded by a stiff adhesive to make a surface-to-surface mechanical coupling with a solid workpiece,device, substrate, machine or sample. The structural polymer provides a bending stiffness such that the thin plate does not deform to its breaking point, and a mechanical stiffness such that shear forces are efficiently coupled from the plate to the workpiece. In further embodiments, the card may include active circuit elements for switching, powering or processing signals, and/or passive circuit elements for filtering, matching or damping signals, so that few or no connections to outside circuitry are required. The actuator assembly can be manufactured in quantity, to provide a versatile actuator with uniform mechanical and actuation characteristics, that introduces negligible mass loading to the workpiece. The cards themselves may be arranged as independent mechanical actuators, rather than strain-transfer actuators, in which the induced strain changes the position of the card. Various arrangements of pinned or cantilevered cards may act as a pusher, bender or other motive actuator, and structures such as powered bellows may be formed directly by folding one or more suitably patterned cards.
